A Hot Southern Mess™

These pulled pork stuffed potatoes are what I call a ‘Hot Southern Mess™’ because you get all the comfort of a slow cooked pull pork combined with a creamy coleslaw served over a piping hot slow baked potato. A real mess to look at but oh so temptingly tasty. Substitute a medium sized sweet potato and what’s not to love?

Here in the Heart of Dixie we love our barbeque. We don’t push that love to the side, just because the weather’s cooled off or the rain has set in for the weekend! Bring it indoors and love that barbeque anyway. Pulled pork is one of our favorites, any way you can do it.

The beauty of most of my recipes is that whenever there is some item that someone doesn’t like, I just leave it off. So, if you don’t care for coleslaw, skip it! Prefer your baked potato without sour cream, no dollop for you! Its all so easy, the kids like making their own and well the adults become kids when this meal hits the table. Use your favorite coleslaw and baked bean recipes. And again… bring out that slow cooker for the easiest ever pulled pork; so tender it really doesn’t need to be ‘pulled’ just flake apart with a fork.

This is making my tummy growl. When we were on a trip we stopped in at 17th Street BBQ and saw potato skins on the menu except they were covered in pork bbq instead of the usual bacon. I almost skipped ordering them because it sounded weird but they were the best damn skins I’ve ever had. This potato recipe reminds me of those … must make these!
